SAns Call For Natasha Thahane To Be Investigated After NSFAS Student’s Sentence
On Wednesday, March 30th, actress Natasha Thahane became a trending topic… sorry this time it had nothing to do with Lorch nor his freak accident.
So yesterday, Sibongile Mani, a Walter Sisulu University education honours degree student, was sentenced to five years in prison for spending R818 000 of the R14 million that was accidentally transferred into her account from the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS).

Many people were curious as to why the actress from Blood & Water had not been investigated. After all, she admitted on MacG’s Podcast and Chill in 2021 to have used her influence to acquire close to R1 million New York Film Academy scholarship from the government.
Natasha who is the granddaughter of the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu told MacG that after quitting her role as Amo on the Mzansi Magic telenovela The Queen to further her studies in 2017, she enrolled on a one-year course at the New York Film Academy. This is when Mbete came to her rescue financially.
“I asked Mam’ Baleka (Mbete) and was like, ‘Mama, I need to go back to school. I’ve been accepted… I don’t know what I’m going to do, can I have funds? Please arrange something for me.’ She managed to speak to (the department) Arts and Culture and they were able to help me,” she had said on the podcast.

Now SAns are convinced that the law should also take its course and bring the actress to book. Here are some of the reactions below:
Sibongile Mani spent R800K
Natasha spent a Million
Sibongile is in jail because she is a nobody
Natasha Is free because her grandad is Bishop Tutu
Law is for the poor. Let that sink in!! pic.twitter.com/jrT1rPLWh3

Since we on that Sibongile Mani’s case, it’s only fair that Natasha’s R1M scholarship or whatever it was be investigated as well.

No matter how many times Natasha was placed on the trend list, after revealing being presented with an opportunity to study overseas through connectiions no investigation was conducted.
Instead she was advised to leave Twitter for Instagram, to avoid being in our eyes!!
